Copper flask; 180 g, size declared below
Made to Shiwalay's own brief; our name on the pack, a batch date on every one

From the Shiwalay desk
Every flask carries its collection date on the base. We would rather ship a smaller batch than send water without a date.

About this piece

Turn the flask over and the date is stamped on the base: the morning this water was drawn at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi. It is filtered and sealed that same morning in a hand-beaten copper flask that holds 250 ml. A collection certificate comes in the box, so you know where and when your Gangajal was drawn.

Why it's traditionally used

Gangajal is used for shuddhi: a few drops sprinkled over the altar, the samagri and yourself before a puja begins. Water from Kashi, Shiva's own city, is kept for abhishek of the Shivling, above all on the Mondays of Sawan and on Mahashivratri. Families also keep a flask for griha pravesh and mundan, where a few drops are customary.

How to use

Sprinkle for shuddhi before puja.
Add a few drops to the abhishek water.

Care

Rinse and dry after each use; copper darkens fast when left wet.
